Overall Review
Bang Bang Mongolian Grill is a hidden gem in the heart of
Canton, Maryland. This small chain restaurant
provides a cafeteria style menu, where you purchase your desired bowl size and then
fill it to capacity with all kinds of yumminess. Once you have selected your meats, veggies,
sauces, spices and noodles or rice the chef dumps your meal along with that of
10 other people on a huge flat grill that is about 6 foot wide. The meals are kept separate but they are all
cooked in their little area. For dessert,
they have a wonderful fat free frozen yogurt bar with tons of delicious
toppings. This is a perfect spot for
after church when you want to grab something quick, filling and fun; casual
date night, hanging out with friends or a fun outing for you and your children.
As a matter of fact, Angela commented at the time that this is a wonderful way
to introduce children to cooking.
Parking is not a problem here as there is a free parking lot and free
garage parking… finally parking NOT being a problem. This is also a good place
to go in the summer, spring or fall months as it is located in a really nice
shopping area across from the water. We
really enjoyed this restaurant and therefore give Bang Bang Mongolian Grill ♪♪♪ and a half note.
Melissa's Review
Dining
at Bang Bang Mongolian Grill requires that you have some cooking ability and an
understanding of flavors. The restaurant
supplies a bowl, a hot grill, a chef and an endless list of meats, veggies,
spices and sauces. The rest is your
responsibility. No one can be blamed but
you if your dinner is a hot mess! However
if it is delicious, viola…You are a genius!
Being a true foodie, this dining experience both excites and stimulates
me. Bang Bang is a culinary
playground. Here you can exercise and
push the limits of your flavor profiles.
You can challenge yourself to see what amazing dish you can create. It reminds me of the show “Chopped” on the
food network. Here is your basket, now
create something amazing. Needless to say I managed to create something divine. (Yes... yes, I’m tooting my own horn.) It was a delicious mix of seafood and veggies
in a curry and garlic sauce. If you do
not like to cook or don’t know how to pair foods and mix flavors then you will
truly struggle and may even burst into tears because you added way to much
spice to your dish. I enjoyed the clean,
sleek set up of the restaurant. I would describe it as cafeteria style with a
flare. The red walls and black accents
add a bit of mystery to the place. I recommend
that you try Bang Bang if you are in the area.
This place is perfect if you are dieting because you can make your meal
as healthy as you want. Overall I give
Bang Bang ♪♪♪.
Angela's Review
Now we don’t usually review chain restaurants, but there is
an exciting venue, new to this area, with a different and heretofore unheard of
concept, (at least by me), that we just had to try and review. It comes to us
from its origins in Iowa (really, Iowa!?). I really enjoyed eating here. I had great fun
putting together my own meal (literally); choosing from a variety of raw meats
and seafood, veggies, spices, and sauces, taken from an impressive selection,
and piled high into one of two bowl sizes, to be put on the grill with a choice
of White Jasmine Rice, Brown Jasmine Rice, Fried Rice, Pad Thai Noodles or
Japanese Soba. The one challenge to reviewing a restaurant of this sort is that
you can’t blame food whose flavor you are not happy with on anyone but
yourself…Lol. It really helps to be able
to cook and thus know what spices and sauces complement one another and the
choice of meat and or seafood and how much of said seasonings and sauces to
use. That being said, you can also follow one of their many recipes listed, if
you need some help. The impression eating here gives one,
is that of a fast-food carry out joint merged with an upscale dining
establishment, sort of like a Chipotle or Boston Market, only selling alcohol
and having a kick butt yogurt bar to finish off an already really cool meal. I
made my dish with beef, chicken, scallops and calamari; peas, bean sprouts,
mushrooms, egg, curry powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, garlic oil,
black-bean garlic sauce and soy sauce, with Pad Thai Noodles. It actually
turned out pretty well, but next time I think I will use more soy sauce. I did
well enough that I believe I will go back J
I give Bang-Bang Mongolian Grill ♪♪♪♪,
if
only for novelties sake.
